What is agentdhcp4ClientRetryCount?
This counter tracks the number of times the DHCP client sent a DHCP REQUEST message before the server responded for the current lease negotiation. Administrators use it to spot a flaky or slow-responding DHCP server, since a high retry count on an otherwise successful lease points to network or server-side delays rather than a hard failure. For example, a retry count of 4 or more before the client reaches the bound state suggests the DHCP server is slow to respond and should be investigated.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7244.2.100.1.1.1.10 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DHCPCLIENT-PRIVATE-MIB::agentdhcp4ClientRetryCount
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7244.2.100.1.1.1.10.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DHCPCLIENT-PRIVATE-MIB::agentdhcp4ClientRetryCount.1
